Summer has arrived, and with it the smoldering heat and sun, which can cause quite a few skin issues, as well as the shorter clothes and swimsuits, that drive most of us straight to the gym, in search of ways to lift and tighten everything we’ve neglected over the winter.<\/p>\n
To simplify this process and make it more pleasant, we’ve put together a list of special summer tips that will help you look and feel your best from head to toe.<\/p>\n
During the summer, you should wash your face more often – preferably 3-4 times a day, using a gentle cleanser that is suited to your skin type. You should also avoid cream-based cleansers, and opt for foaming ones, such as our gentle, natural based Achillea Soapless Soap, that cleans and disinfects at the highest level, and can replace your toner as well.<\/p>\n
This natural homemade mask can help keep your skin nourished and hydrated during the summer:<\/p>\n
Ingredients: ½ avocado, ½ teaspoon coconut oil, 2 teaspoons honey<\/p>\n
Preparation: mash the avocado and mix it with the other ingredients until you have a smooth paste. Apply to your face and leave it on for 15 minutes, then wash it off with regular water.<\/p>\n
Keeping your body hydrated is especially important during the summer when we lose lots of liquid due to the heat and outdoor activities. Therefore, you should make sure to take in extra fluids in your diet by drinking plenty of water and eating healthy, fluid-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n
Summer is a good time to go for the more natural look, using lighter colors and more delicate makeup. You should also consider using waterproof products that will hold up better in hot and humid conditions.<\/p>\n
While it is important to nurture our body throughout the entire year, it is more important to do so during summer, when we’re more exposed. Our self-awareness rises and we begin to notice our stretch marks and cellulite that we overlooked during the winter months.<\/p>\n
In order to get into better shape you should, above all, exercise regularly and eat a balanced diet. To make the process a little easier and faster you can also use quality products such as our body moisturizer “Body Lotion” that doubles as a treatment for cellulite and stretch marks.<\/p>\n
Using a quality sunscreen is one of the best ways to keep your skin looking youthful and smooth, and prevent damage. However, in order to really be protected, you should make sure you’ve got every part covered including the neck, hands and any area exposed to the sun.<\/p>\n
Even our hair can suffer from extended exposure to the elements, especially when going to the beach or the pool. Therefore, to help keep your hair shiny and soft, try using olive or coconut oil before going into the water.<\/p>\n
In addition to protecting your hair, you can also provide it with a little extra pampering to keep it from drying out or splitting during the summer. We recommend using our Lituph Nourishing Hair Oil, that is more effective than conditioner and helps keep your hair soft and healthy over time.<\/p>\n
To save time and money, you can skip the pedicure and use a potato and coarse salt to soften your feet, and get rid of the dry skin. Simply cut the potato in half, poor some coarse salt on it, and rub it on the soles of your feet, especially in the areas where the skin is dry and hard.<\/p>\n
We hope and trust that these tips will help you retain your good looks throughout the summer months.<\/p>\n
